Hi, my name is Alec, and it is a pleasure to meet you. I understand that seeking counselling or therapy can be a deeply personal experience and it can be difficult to take that first step. For this reason, I strive to offer clients a safe, friendly, and compassionate space to explore their difficulties while they learn about themselves and find healthier alternative ways to live their lives. I do not give advice and fully believe you are the expert on how to be you. However, no matter what your difficulty maybe I can offer you empathy, understanding and support as we work together. If you are seeking change, therapy may be helpful.

Hello there, I qualified to practice back in 2002, from here I worked full time as a Counsellor for an Alcohol service. I worked for ten years with clients where the presenting issue was alcohol misuse, however there were many other issues our clients struggled with, such as Depression, Anxiety, Low Self Esteem etc. I have extensive experience of successfully working with clients to make significant changes and to reach their goals. Since leaving this service, I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings, gaining more and varied experience. I can help with most issues and usually without a need for long term therapy.

Overcome your Past & Fears, Find Self-Compassion & Resilance, and Flourish. If you're wrestling with a negative inner voice or baggage from your past, I understand. Perhaps you’ve forgotten what real joy or feeling safe is like? Or there's something you just can't seem to get past or a project you can't master? The search for a meaningful and fulfilling life isn't easy and it’s not your fault. It’s because you have a tricky human brain with a sensitive threat system, which can tie you up in knots trying to cope.
